Abstract

This invention describes a new method to estimate the
sediment flux in front of a Coherent Acoustic Sediment
Probe (CASP) instrument. Also, described is a newly
invented Bistatic Doppler Velocity and Sediment Profiler
(BDVSP) device for measuring sediment concentration,
sediment velocity, and the resultant sediment transport in a
sediment bed, and for the measurement of turbulent stresses
and dissipation in the ocean.

This engineering report describes the measurement techniques and results of an equilibrium beach profile survey and sediment analysis. The main objective of the project was to obtain an accurate equilibrium beach profile ...

Comparisons are made between surface wind stress measurements obtained by the inertial-dissipation and
direct covariance methods on a stable offshore tower and by the inertial-dissipation and bulk methods on a ship.

The thesis investigates a method to estimate the forward velocity and heading rate of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). Through relatively new technologies small AUVs are now able to mount a Forward Looking Sonar ...
